Abstract
On this research, the results show us that exhaust gases from automobile machine have more energy that we can use and, it is good for us in order to have a better atmosphere. The ultrasound and flotation cell, can decompose hydrocarbons and transform them on methane and hydrogen and to generate oxygen for to produce an exothermic reaction. Cavitation is one of the most important effects of ultrasound impact on hydrocarbons discomposure. The new energy is into oxygen, hydrogen and methane.

Introduction

The personal automobile is the single greatest polluter. Driving a private car is a typical citizens most air polluting activity. Typical Engine Combustion (www.nutrame4d.com/environment/carsepa.htm): Fuel + Air = Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen oxides + Carbon dioxide + Carbon monoxide + Water Ultrasonic can decompose other organic substrates such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides, phenol, explosives such as TNT, and esters, and transform them into short-chain organic acids, CO2 and inorganic ions as the final products (Nasseri, et al, 2006). According to standards in Mxico, Gasoline contains Hydrocarbons from pentane to nonane (Dominguez, 1953). The exhaust fumes from gasoline motor vehicle characterization using ultrasound and flotation cell (Figure 1), is very difficult. The exhaust fumes from gasoline motor vehicle characterization using ultrasound and flotation cell, was very difficult because according to Figure 1, the problem sample and patron sample, fumes are maid of: Air, CO2, Water and another substances. And on scanning Electron Microscopy study on Figure 3, it was found on the particles compounds: carbon, oxygen, silica principally. According to studies brego (2010), the CO2 is on air, water and hydrocarbons and for the action of ultrasound and flotation cell, the CO2 is dissociated on C + O2 and the oxygen and methane are very explosives. May be it was the reason of explosion because on the ultrasonic cavitation, we have the called hot spots where we have temperatures of the order of 5000o C, pressures of about 50 MPa and temperatures gradients higher than 600o C (Abrego, 2005).

Theoretical Considerations

Ultrasonic Cavitation As an hypothesis, we can to say that when gases are exposed to these high frequency vibrations, both physical and chemical changes occur as a result of a physical phenomenon, known as cavitation. When a high harmonic ultrasonic electromagnetic wave excited to a gaseous molecule, the excitation involves electrons and nucleons. In the compression phase it is possible that the electron is moved up on its orbit and, when such wave is moving to the rarefaction phase, the electron passes on the zero point or ground state and it has the collapse and, we have the hot-point and, a temperature of the order of 5000o C. It is the called cavitation.

Development of a high energy detected on exhaust gases of automobile machine. When we excited the gas, it involves the CO2 gaseous that is in air, water and hydrocarbons. And using ultrasound and flotation cell, the CO2 is dissociated on C+O2. And it is possible that the hydrocarbons are also dissociated and generated hydrogen and methane. When the oxygen is into contact with methane and hydrogen, we have a great exothermic explosion.

Methods The excitation with ultrasound and flotation cell of exhaust gases from automobile machine, was done for two hours one test and forty five minutes for other test because they were very explosives. Sealed two 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks. One is the patron sample and other is the problem sample with copper within as catalyst. On the two hours experiment, at one hour 15 minutes the explosion was so intense that, the sealed plug was removed from the Erlenmeyer flask and the gases were out. Another experiment was done, using only forty five minutes of excitation. On this experiment, we had an exothermic reaction inside of the Erlenmeyer flask. But the sealed plug was not out of the Erlenmeyer flask. On the exhaust gases from automobile machine, we have CO2 on water, air and on hydrocarbons. The CO2 is dissociated into C + O2 when we are using ultrasound and flotation cell (brego, 2012). When the oxygen from the dissociation of CO2 is in contact with methane and may be hydrogen, we have a great explosion.

Result and Discussion

Result The experimentation was done in two steps. On the first experiment, we were using two hours of excitation with ultrasound and flotation cell. It was because it was the best time for dissociation of CO2 it was done 98.1% (brego, 2010). But at one hour and 20 minutes, the exothermic reaction was so intense that sealed plug was out of the Erlenmeyer flask and the gas was out. The second experiment was done using only forty five minutes. We had also an exothermic reaction but the sealed plug was not out of the Erlenmeyer flask. The chromatographic (Figure 2.), show us that it was no difference on the intensity of CO2 , air and water between patron sample and problem sample.

At the end of the experiment on the problem sample at the bottom of the Erlenmeyer flask was done a friction and on the scanning electron microscopy (Figure 3), It shows us that we have only concentration of the particles of carbon, oxygen and silica principally.

Discussion It is important to observe that the ultrasonic and flotation cell excitation dissociated the exhaust gases from automobile machine. It is important because we have found a new energy source and we can recycling the automobile fumes in order to use again the fumes.

Conclusion

The automobile industry must do research more on this theme in order to use all the energy on gasoline and to solving air pollution problems.
